Lillian's point of view…

Like normal teens here I lay on my bed just contemplating if going to school was actually all it was cracked up to be, contemplating just not even going today, not like my mind would be in any of my work. So, was it really necessary to even go and deal with the dramatics of school life? But even I knew the answer, yes, so with grace I rolled from my bed heading into the bathroom to get myself ready.

I walked back out thirty-five minutes later; I sat starting the process of drying my wet hair than when I finished that process I did my make-up, just a little here and there then adding a touch of lip gloss, completing my look of a struggling teen.

My cell was going off the on the table behind me, the tale, tale signs of the music blaring was alerting me it was Sam calling this early morning.

I greeted her, "Hey Sam, what's up? "

"Meet me at my daddy's office as soon as you can. Then can I get a ride to school with you?" she asked me her tone urgent but sleepy all the same. But if she was asking me to come it was for the right to use force this evening.

I answer, "Let me get dressed and of course you can ride with me, see you soon," hanging up slipping my cell into my purse.

Pulling on my black jeans pairing it with a green maternity top it had two cherries and the words "Two times the sweetness". The black vans are not to snug on my feet now with bags in hand I was out of the door and off to see Sam and her father. I drove through town it was just waking up as some are watering their lush green yards, some chatting by the mailboxes. I just drove to the mayor's office; when I arrived it was busy but then again he was the mayor and an important person walking into the building. I was walking the halls going to his back office not being stopped like any other would have been, they must have known that I was coming.

Sam called out, "Lily," she was smiling waving me over with a hug and she walked me in the direction of her father's hidden office. ...the elevator that opened directly into his private office, a huge room occupying the corner of the building with floor-to-ceiling windows giving views in two directions: Fifth Avenue to the east, Central Park just a few blocks north. The two remaining walls contained a door, a low bookshelf, and a single oil painting - a vase of flowers by Vincent van Gogh.

The black glass surface of his desk was equally uncluttered: a computer, a leather notebook, and a framed photograph of Sam. His office was also warm and welcoming with the scent of cherry oak. His daughter after the event alerted him that if not for me his office would have been compromised and files taken.

"Good morning Lillian, you're looking beautiful this morning," his brown hair waved just right.

He stated, "So, you and your friends are going to attempt to stop the supervillain Warlord, our best couldn't stop him," Mr. Zee was eyeing me he had no faith but couldn't stop us either.

I state back, "It isn't an attempt, it will happen, it will all end tonight," I looked him in the eye trying to pour out confidence and determination with every word.

Mr. Zee said proudly, "I believe if someone could stop him it would be you," but his voice wavered as if he didn't fully believe as such.

He continued, "So I filled out the correct papers today, you and your team will have our permission to use lethal force, then at 3:00 the special cuffs will arrive," with such confidence in me now I was worried he placed it wrong.

I smile, "I will be here to pick them up with Sam," Sam and I left her father with smiles on our angelic faces, everything was falling into place.

School 9:10 am

Finally, was thrilled seeing my plans falling into place now that everything is in place for tonight. Tonight was leaving my heart at home, tonight I had to face my demons for a one on one tonight. The school seemed to buzz with energy knowing the battle is tonight, the school was divided more heroes than villains, the adults seemed clueless about the battle. I was still trying to plan a back- up plan to make sure everything worked out in my favor.

I took a seat at my desk not really paying attention to Mr. Medulla. I looked around the room at my friends their faces matching my own. The villains, I assumed we would be seeing in the battle had smug ass looks on their faces. You should never be without fear and should never be overconfident in yourself.

Will whispered, "Smug aren't they,"

I answer, "Tonight we will show them all how miss placed their smugness was," Angelo was rubbing my lower back, his magic fingers worked every time.

"Perfect," he smiled back.

Here in Gym was the only class we had together as we all sat together on one side of the bleachers, the villains on the other. With heroes not involved in the battle in the center bleachers, lines drawn. They were laughing and having fun while we watch and planned. They would look over seeing we had faint smiles on our faces looking right at them while continuing our planning, a good plan was fruitful.

Their laughter died right then.

Boomer says, "If you need Boom just give me a call little bit, you be safe tonight," Coach Boom was giving me a tight hug after class, he heard from another student we were going to take them on.

I pondered, "Do ya'll think I have time for a nap before the battle," we walked to our lockers to exchange books and stand around and talk.

Will and Layla walked hand in hand with each other, we left the school knowing tomorrow we wouldn't be here. We would need to rest to heal we knew we would be hurt in the battle we are not stupid we are the underdogs in this, but it would go down in history just like Warlord.

Dice asked, "Are we meeting at the villa at 8:00 tonight?

Angelo answered him, "Yes, but now everyone is on guard while in town. I even suggest staying at home with your family,"

I was glad Tobias was still in Ireland, seems he will be staying as a Hero there for a little time. It hurt, hurt so much it seemed as if I was destined to be alone, and maybe that was a very good thing.

Sam and Trace got in my jeep before I slid in Jared had to extend the seat so I could fit with the huge baby bump. I drove back through town to her father's office.

Mr. Zee whispered, "You keep her safe for me ever since her mom died, she is all I have left,"

I vowed, "She will be coming home to you, I promise you, Zander," I said giving him one last hug in awe of the muscles he had, Trace laughed.

He muttered, "Too young, sir. Lillian too old," it was like we wanted to kill Trace for blurting those emotions out.

I had to have Trace carry the box out he was putting it in my trunk after I was driving them through town, I dropped them off at Sam's place to spend time together before that we stopped and put the cuffs in my sanctum for safe keeping.

Even as my Jeep makes its way through the back roads of the town, the landscape was every vivid color, every one of them as fresh as a new painting straight from Rome. The brilliant greens banished every dark thought and the sky lifted the eye in a way that brought the townspeople out to admire the strands of drifting white cloud. The trees were deep with late spring foliage and the flowers rioted in the jubilant way that only the most divine of blooms can.

James Estate 6:00 pm….

Jared, Mom, Layla, Jennifer, and I sat at our kitchen table having a nice family dinner. The dining room was exquisite. The walls were covered with a shimmering gold paper and in the middle of the ceiling above the carved oak table was a candelabra. Down the center of the table was a runner with a Celtic design woven in gold and green into the fabric itself. At the end of the table were floor to ceiling french doors, left slightly ajar to let in the scented summer air. The polished silver cutlery was heavy to the hand and shone brightly in the early evening light. At each place stood a tall empty wine glass and there were beautifully folded napkins to match the runner. It is only us five at the table, put the other spaces are set, set for no one.

Jared asked, "How was school today, ladies?" taking a bite of steak no clue how they didn't know of the battle yet, it traveled faster than we imagined. Tobias was furious with me when he found out my plans he was forced to stay in Ireland for a while, which meant we would not be having any type of relationship right now.

He wanted to and so did I, but right now he is there.

I scoff, "Same shit different day," shaking slightly as the time grew closer my fear increased, the gentle kicking of the twins keeping me from having a panic attack.

Layla says, "Ditto," she played with her veggies, making a rather impressive pile.

"Can't wait for it to be done," Jennifer said all us girls cracked a smile.

I cut in, "I am going to Sparrows to study after dinner," not looking at them. My tone light but I could hear the anxiety in every word, even in my sister's words.

"Okay dear," mom said clearing the table.

I was so happy dinner was over I couldn't stand the happy conversation, it felt like forever before it actually ended.

7:00 pm

Looking around my large room sitting on my bed, I picked up Warrens picture looking at it remembering every good and bad thing that has happened to us. For the last time I let the tears fall; sighing laying the picture on my bed. It will remain right here on my bed until everything is settled; I look into the full-length mirror and smile fondly before I walk out, either to death or victory. I chanced another look back seeing on the nightstand pictures of myself with Angelo when we dated, Dice and I, Tobias and I too, some with all my friends all so happy, we would be that way again.

It wasn't Warren and I going into battle, it was Warlord and Cyanide, love was left at home tonight. I had to bring my best game I know no less would do, Warlord would bring his.

I drove out of the gates just wanting to escape the welling emotions, I had to keep them bottled up there wasn't any time to be emotional tonight, venting had to wait. I don't know how much longer I can hold all these emotions in though.

I reached Willows house, it was my job to pick up Leah.

"Hello Willow, Leah you home?" I called out from the front room, no reason for Leah not to be here.

"In the kitchen dear," I heard Willow call back to me.

I walked in seeing them sitting at the table each looked ready to burst out in hysterics.

I asked, "Ya'll okay?"

Leah answered, "Auntie she knows where we are going what we are going to do," her voice low her eyes filled with tears. God, Leah just had to tell her, yeah she was smart but thinking I would go into battle against her son in my condition.

"Willow if you don't want Leah to go, she doesn't have to," I said trying to soothe her, she was a strong woman, but we can only take so much.

Willow says, "She needs to go you're stronger together, I just worry about you two" she was the most understanding parent compared to ours, well Mr. Zee was too.

She smiled as I glanced at the clock, 7:38 pm we need to leave, now.

"Leah, we need to go now," standing up, it was time.

Lady Peace pulled us both close to her "Leah, I love you and I'm so proud of you today," she gushed. Her eyes turned to me "Lillian thank you for everything, I love you like you are my own. I love my grandbabies so much already, both of you be safe tonight," Lady Peace sobbed. In the endgame, she knew there was no way to stop us and no way to stop her son, we are the single way to stop him.

8:05 pm

I watched as everyone suited up, Layla fussing over Will in a corner as Freeze was putting Layla's hair in a braided bun. Freeze in her white and pale blue leather suit her white mask in place. Then my gaze fell on Magenta helping Zach fix his suit, her Magenta mask looking perfect, her black and magenta suit looked right on her. Lash, Dice, Angelo, Chang, Edwards and Traces suits had no sleeves so they could show off their muscles, I shook my head clearing my thoughts, I put on my black mask the shimmering green eye shadow already around my eyes. Adorning my full lips was the matching lipstick as I readied to head into battle looking fabulous.

I wasn't putting on my cape I felt tonight it would be in my way, my round belly would be sticking out.

I was suited up and ready, sliding the five daggers into my right leg holster as I walked to the table where three more daggers with a bottle of red liquid were. I slowly opened the jar dipping the tips of the blades in, coating them with poison this was never discussed just a nice way of ensuring we win. I slid the three into my left leg holster before walking to Layla looking her over after my cell was ringing.

I answered but his voice came over the line before I could even utter a word, "Lillian, please. I am on my way back to you, please don't go through with this until I reach you," Tobias was in panic mode.

I retorted with a sigh, "Time is up we have to go, I wish you were here with me but now is the time, this is my window,"

He was not happy with me.

8:30 pm

"Cyanide we are ready," Virtus said as he walked towards me and Layla.

I say, "Well my friends let's not keep Warlord waiting," handing them each two sets of cuffs which they hooked to their belts. We walked out through the secret tunnel leading into the open field, I now owned with the villa. Animala caught up with me, she looked torn her skin was pale and clammy.

"I love you, Lily, I just wanted to say I am pro-" I cut her off.

I say, "Layla, this isn't goodbye we will make it out alive so no goodbyes," grabbing her hand.

I was shocked, just over a year ago; I hated Freeze, and Leah warned me about Lash and Warren. Now we walk to take out my baby's father and his gang it was a surreal feeling.

I call out, "Step on the metal disc's and try not to fall off Neon,"

They stepped on them looking nervous; Virtus, Dark Angel, Tempest and I could fly on our own. I concentrated on the disc's so when I flew into the night sky, they did to the disc's flying behind me. The sky looked beautiful tonight but now wasn't the time to appreciate the sight. I spotted the lake not too far off; we started to descend within five minutes we set our feet on the ground. Angelo to my right and Dice to my left we moved through the trees until we reached the perfect spot to wait.

We waited a few minutes until we saw Warlord; I counted twenty-five villains as they walked out of the woods all coming towards us slowly my family coming up close behind me, we are together in this.

"He has five more," Virtus said with a tad bit of worry. I am apprehensive, yet unafraid. It is the jolt I need to know that I am walking into a storm, but not so much that my steps will be hindered. If anything, it gives me the courage I need to make them, knowing that few good things in this life come without a cost to the self.

I answer, "Take some out fast, knock them out cuff them then move on fast, we don't have time to spare," my eyes lingering on the leader he had to die this could never happen again, he could never take over again.

Warlord walked until he was only fifty feet away from us, the battle line clearly drawn. He was in black leather with red slashes and a dark red mask, his red eyes looking fucking creepy.

Warlord mused, "I find it ironic that this is where you want it to end,"

I laughed, "Seems very fitting, but let's get this over with Warlord. I have already heard enough talking," he was not very happy about it being here but that was not his choice, it would be a choice he had to live with.

Warlord snarled, "I want you Dice, I have a score to settle with you for stealing my girl, putting your lips and hands all over her after you it will be Tobias and Angelo," he has not called me that in so long but that didn't matter he had to die for my children to be safe, for my family to be safe once and for all.

I say cut them off, "That will not be happening you will be facing me and me alone," his head turned to me again with so much riding on this battle, I had Ethan and Zach here day's ago planting cameras everywhere. This was going to be a massive learning experience.

Warlord smirked, "If that is what you want, say your goodbyes,"

Dice stated, "I love you both more than my life, I would gladly die for either of my girls tonight. Be strong Cyanide and come back to us safe," kissing me on the lips Leah kissing my cheek.

"You ever kiss or hold my mate again you will have signed your own death warrant," Warren hissed at Dice.

Jennifer gave Angelo a smile as he wrapped me in his arms, a confession on his lips. "I lied to you, Jenni bean and I aren't mated. I am so in love with her, but I still love you too. I just needed you to know, Jennifer and I want you to know," why, did they lie.

"Why did you lie to me, we aren't supposed to lie since I thought we were friends,"

Angelo knew I was pissed as I turned back to Warlord with hate in my eyes, he would pay tonight this would be the night it all ended.

We sized each other up; my family has already been updated on Warlord and his follower's powers. I had determination set in eyes, he looked reserved as everything began.

I chimed in, "Don't hold back, don't show them mercy because they will not show you any," my friends spread out forming rank; they knew not to spread too thin. Warlord backed up a bit; I went ten feet in the air, following Warlord. I smiled sending Warlord spinning backward with a simple flick of my hand. Only to land on the balls of my feet; I looked at him waiting for him to make the next move.

Yes, he is still strong but not as strong as before thinking to myself while picking myself up off the floor. I shook my hair dirt fell like sand from it; I gave him a sinister smile.

Warlord tried, "We can stop you know, you can rule the world with me," in a deep husky voice, I knew that voice. I moved quickly dodging the flame at the last minute. I ran planting my right foot on the tree bracing myself as I pushed off my left foot coming down onto his chest. Sending him skidding twenty feet away from me when he staggered to his feet, he held his chest as he tried to breathe.

He was up taking deep breaths he looked a tad pissed. He came at me with precision as I moved barely missing his blows. I drew my dagger from the right thigh while he conjured his own. He was being sloppy now as he rushed forward, I timed it right as grabbing his arm right between his arm and shoulder flipping him over. I went down with him his arm between my legs twisting his arm to the left with blunt force hearing a nasty snapping noise. He bellowed in pain flinging me backward dirt all over my butt.

Layla's point of view…

Speed taunted, "Come on red, fight," he was trying to get to me out of the game, I was not weak like most thought.

He was moving too fast, I was scared now taking a deep breath closing my eyes feeling my powers, I heard him yell in pain. My green eyes opened seeing him entangled in the tree roots, his body held firmly.

I snapped, "Now, I am sorry you can't fight, that you feel you must run away but you can stand and fight or you better run like hell. And they call me Animala,"

"I have no problem with fighting a girl," Speed said not buying my want to be attitude, it was harder to sound mean when it wasn't in me.

I released him once he was on his feet he came forward and so did I, tonight I would prove to my sister I could help her anytime she needed me that I wasn't the weak link.

Speed avoided the first couple of hits then I caught him with the fourth he doubled over in pain. I grabbed the sides of his face bringing my right knee into his nose as she showed me.

I saw blood pouring from his face; he stopped and wiped up his face before we danced around each other. I felt pain as he grabbed the back of my neck, he kicked me hard in the stomach. I fell to the floor gasping for breath, I saw him as he came towards me, and at the last moment, I swiped his legs from under him.

"Not too bad hippie," Speed laughed at me.

I snap, "Enough talking Speed, fight," hating the chatter but that was just him, I guess.

"Sorry, Hun you are not anywhere near as badass as your sister," Speed was right, but I was unfazed because I knew it was the truth.

I ran at him flinging myself in the air my right foot slammed into the right side of his face, he flew back hard, his head cracking against the tree, a small amount of blood began running down his cheek. He would live and spend his time in prison again.

I walked to him fast bringing out the cuffs, when I wasn't expecting it, he lunged up his thick fingers wrapping around my neck he was putting too much pressure. He kicked my stomach again as I fell to the floor can't breathe couldn't summon my powers until I could get some air a small scream of panic escaped, Speed smiled while laughing.

Then his weight was gone from my body, my chest gasping for breath getting to my feet. Cyanide held Speed by the neck I watched as she tossed him to the ground. She looked at me with such concern, I looked to Warlord who was now tied to a tree trying to free himself. Cyanide ran back to her villain the best of them all she shouldn't have had to help me; I will prove to her I can do it.

Speed was up and running at me again I tried to scream but my throat wouldn't allow it. Then he stops mid-run his fingers trying frantically to remove the dagger from his neck. Black veins start to show around his wound, she killed him with a poisoned dagger.

I ran to find another villain, I saw the one called Crystal fighting Virtus when he was already fighting Beam. I tackled her to the ground and she smiled.

Trace's point of view…

I felt pain and pleasure coming from everywhere, I felt a stab of absolute fear it was so absolute it made me turn to see Speed atop of Animala. I was rushing over when I heard her scream then rage, I felt overwhelming rage. I turned to the spot I felt it, I saw Cyanide kick Warlord in the chest she flipped in mid-air as she did so. A tree whipped out a thick branch wrapping around Warlords' neck. Cyanide was lifting Speed off her sister and tossing him to the floor hard. She glanced at Animala knowing Speed signed his own death warrant by hurting Animala. Cyanide ran back to fight with Warlord when Speed ran at Animala, Cyanide turned. She was fast she pulled a dagger from her left thigh and flicked it we all watched it impaled Speed's neck he was dead in five seconds.

I saw them nod at each other and run back to their battles, Cyanide to Warlord and Animala tackled Crystal.

I saw Magenta take down another large cat, I was amazed she was awesome in her panther form. She turned into her human-self cuffing the girl and running off to help someone.

I saw a man looking at me before he ran forward; he was angry and elated at the same time. I picked up on someone's pain; I looked at the man and focused all the pain I felt. He dropped to his knees, screaming, screaming in pain, I stopped.

I say, "Had enough?" the pain halting as he snarled and writhed on the floor being caring was my downfall. He tackled me to the ground, I slammed my head into his causing him to roll off me.

He kicked, but I was blocking all his blows and kicks. I roundhouse kicked him in his wide chest, he fell backward shaking his head. I advanced on him as he ran at me again my elbow made contact with his face knocking him out. I cuffed him and ran to help Shadow who was fighting two, one female and one male.

Cyanides point of view…

I sneered, "Come on Warlord, I am tired and want to go home let's finish this just like we did our relationship, hard and fast," he turned red either in anger or tiredness.

He landed a solid hit to the back of my head; I raised my hand flinging his ass to the edge of the lake. I got up rubbing my head, feeling vertigo the world spinning a little.

I stood my ground as he advanced on me, he had a lasso of fire. I had my dagger pulled another from my thigh, I tried not to get distracted as I saw bright lights being flashed, I knew it was Solar. I must have looked preoccupied because Warlord rushed me, I brought my knee up as I sidestepped my right knee rammed into his stomach, I flipped over him punching him with a little metal power in his lower back. My knee throbbed in pain, his abs have probably hurt me.

He struggled to his feet and whipped his lasso at me making a loud snapping sound. "Sorry Warlord I am not into whips and chains," I smiled moving to his left, he snapped it at me again.

I moved and it hit a poor tree it burned red the smell was horrible. I jumped grabbing a branch healing the tree at the same time, nature was a gift one we shouldn't destroy. I walked along the branch Warlord didn't spot me as I hovered behind him. But he felt my presence and brought his elbow into my chest. I went feet back, I sat there for minute breathing trying to get it under control; Warlord grabbed a hand full of my hair pulling me up our eyes locking for the first time, his eyes twitching. He was having some difficulties with his left arm that I apparently had broken, I should have just ripped it off.

I brought the heel of my hand into his nose breaking it, blood poured out. He released my hair and I advanced on him, he paid no attention to the blood.

I heard a scream from the one person I didn't want to hear it from, I flung my arm back and Warlord sailed into a tree. I turned to the direction of the sound my heart stopped that fucking bastard Speed was on top of my sister. I kicked Warlord back into the tree using my power of nature to hold him as roots tied him up by the neck. I ran over pulling Speed off my sister shoving his ass into the ground with raw power. I glanced at Animala she was okay just bruising around her small neck. I went back to Warlord he needed to be finished, I was tired, but I felt her fear once again,

I ran a little closer this was done as I pulled a dagger from my left holster, the son of a bitch wouldn't leave here alive. I aimed and with a flick of my wrist, the blade lodged in Speed's thick neck. I watched him fumble to dislodge it, but the poison had already spread, he was dead within one minute. I saw Animala gasping for breath still she had tried to scream as Speed ran at her. I watched as she understood what I had just done.

She gave me a nod before running to help Virtus, who was fighting a male and female I turned back to Warlord, who I found tied up by the throat.

I released him.

He taunted, "You killed Speed and Animal you're no better than a villainess," Warlord smirked at me. I showed no emotion at hearing this, but it did affect me. I was bruised, bloody and fucking tired I was pregnant fighting a crazed lunatic.

I smiled, "I never said I was better, but I know how to hide the evil," and so did he.

It was time to let go.
